5 of the best jazz bars in Dubai for chilled summer nights
There's a reason jazz and bars have been a thing for nearly a century. It's a pairing that's outlasted trends, scenes, and shifts in taste – warm lighting, a low hum of conversation, a perfectly made martini, and somewhere in the corner, a saxophone player letting loose without saying a word. Jazz bars first took off in the early 1920s – mostly underground, often packed, and always alive. They were smoky and loud spaces where culture, sound, and rhythm came together. Back then, it wasn't about background music – it was about presence. You went to hear something. To feel something. Now, a century later, that energy hasn't faded, it's just evolved. And in Dubai, it's done with stunning interiors, creative cocktails, and musicians who know exactly how to set a mood. Here are 5 of the best jazz bars in Dubai for chilled summer nights. Mimi Kakushi 1920s Osaka meets jazz and glamour in a space that's rich with detail and effortlessly cool.

Nola's been a staple in JLT for nearly ten years – part eatery, part neighbourhood hangout, and always a solid call for after-work drinks, jazz nights or a catch-up that somehow turns into closing time.

Phillies' Aaron Nola will make his first minor league rehab start on Thursday
NEW YORK (AP) — Philadelphia pitcher Aaron Nola will make his first injury rehabilitation start Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley at Worcester as he works his way back from a sprained right ankle and fractured rib that have sidelined him since May. HT Image Nola threw batting practice on Friday. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Saturday the 32-year-old right-hander will throw about 60 pitches in the Triple-A game. Nola hurt the ankle during agility drills on May 8. He made a pair of ineffective starts and was placed on the IL effective May 15. Nola threw a bullpen session June 1 and felt sore a few days later. An MRI showed a stress fracture of a rib, Thomson revealed June 10. On the IL for a physical injury for the first time since 2017, Nola was 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA in nine starts and 49 2/3 innings. Right fielder Nick Castellanos was out of the starting lineup Saturday, a day after getting hurt in the Phillies' 12-5 win over the Yankees. 'The last play last night where he went back towards the wall, just kind of jammed his left knee a little bit,' Thomson said. 'He came in a little bit sore today, so keep him out, see how he is tomorrow.' Alec Bohm is to meet up with the Phillies on Sunday, travel with the team to Chicago and be evaluated. Bohm broke a left rib when hit by a 92.2 mph Yu Darvish pitch at San Diego on July 12. The third baseman and first baseman returned July 18 following the All-Star break, then went on the injured list. 'Still a little bit sore,' Thomson said. Outfielder Brewer Hicklen was obtained from Detroit for cash and optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Hicklen, 29, was hitting .227 with eight homers and 31 RBIs for Triple-A Toledo. He went 2 for 3 with a walk and a stolen base for Detroit at Colorado on May 8 in his only big league appearance this year. Right-hander Ryan Cusick was designated for assignment. ___ AP MLB:
